Read My Sports Gadget Recommendations.
Here’s my most recent GPS watch guide here, and cycling GPS computers here. Plus there are smart trainers here, all in these guides cover almost every category of sports gadgets out there. Looking for the equipment I use day-to-day? I also just put together my complete ‘Gear I Use’ equipment list, from swim to bike to run and everything in between (plus a few extra things). And to compliment that, here’s The Girl’s (my wife’s) list. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!

Have some fun in the travel section.
I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. I’ve sorted it all by world geography, in an attempt to make it easy to figure out where I’ve been.

My Photography Gear: The Cameras/Drones/Action Cams I Use Daily
The most common question I receive outside of the “what’s the best GPS watch for me” variant, are photography-esq based. So in efforts to combat the amount of emails I need to sort through on a daily basis, I’ve complied this “My Photography Gear” post for your curious minds (including drones & action cams!)! It’s a nice break from the day-to-day sports-tech talk, and I hope you get something out of it!

The Swim/Bike/Run Gear I Use List
Many readers stumble into my website in search of information on the latest and greatest sports tech products. But at the end of the day, you might just be wondering “What does Ray use when not testing new products?”. So here is the most up to date list of products I like and fit the bill for me and my training needs best! DC Rainmaker 2023 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you? If that’s the case (but certainly not saying my choices aren’t good for women), and you just want to see a different gear junkies “picks”, check out The Girl’s Gear Guide too.
Best video yet! And how am I the first person to comment on this?!?
Ray – NEVER undertake a bus !!! (3:00 mins on the video)
that’s an accident waiting to happen !!
Fun fact: In Paris, those are shared bike/bus lanes. Passed and getting passed by a bus in the same lane is normal.
your lawyers can argue the legal aspects after your gone !
Again, totally normal every day situation in Paris.
Also, he was effectively stopped when I started passing him. Only after I was half-way down his bus did he start going again.
I am glad you have moved to Amsterdam, you have been playing Russian roulette over there in Paris :-)
This is as fun as watching Lucas Brunelle in New York.
Thanx man, more vids to come very soon, Lucas
Reminds me of my rides in the Philippines. Pure adrenaline ???? Thanks for the video. I need to video my rides next time I go there. Lol
Driving in Paris is crazy enough… but cycling around the Champs…. Yikes ?That was pretty gutsy ?
The Champs-Élysées avenue now have dedicated bike lanes, and you also can cross the Concorde place with the help of a bike-only tunnel!

Looks awesome now!
good god, that video is terrifying. I feel ill just watching you weave between cars
Hello,
As a driver and a triathlete I was shocked to see your actions on this video. Never mind you cut 2 sections which likely showed you passing through a red light, your cycling antics is what my medic wife calls organ donors.
I thought of leaving a fun comment as most have done, but as a father I very much hope you will tone things down, you are way out of line.
Dude. That looks nuts!
